About Linda Crawford

Hello and Welcome to BetterHelp! This is where you can find your new future and the help you seek for the life you are wanting to live!
I would be honored to assist you along that ride.

My name is Linda Crawford. I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of Florida. Just like you, I am human and that means I understand life has a variety of challenges to throw at us. At times, it can seem near impossible to get past some of these obstacles. Often we can feel alone and helpless about what our best next step could be. But, here is the secret reality……needing assistance in these matters is just part of the human process. Unfortunately, there are many people who are afraid to admit they are human enough to desire/need the assistance of another person’s perspective. Anyway, here you are reading my profile and that is actually a good sign!

I am excited about working with you to dig through your struggles and help you excel to work on changing your brain so that you can feel better about your future. It is true, you brain does change according to your thought process! I truly want to help you excel at this! However, I cannot do this alone and that means you may be given assignments to complete. That is how you will learn to change your brain!

Together, we can adjust your negative thoughts and feelings which, in my experience working with clients, seems to be at the core of many issues such as: relationship issues (social and professional), anxiety, depression, overeating, disorganization, lost motivation, lost interest, hurt feelings, anger, loneliness, mistrust, boredom.

Here is the plan I offer to you: You are the driver of your life, you have free will to choose which road to take. I will sit in the passenger seat and be a sort of …GPS…suggesting options along the way. Ultimately, you are the one with your hands on the wheel and your foot on the pedal. That means, you determine the distance you travel and the speed at which you move. Also, and most important….you determine when you have arrived at your destination!

Ready when you are!

“Linda has been a joy to work with and has helped my wife and I with improving our communication. She is patient and listens with an eagerness to understand what issues need to be worked on, both individually and as a couple.”

“I have Linda as my therapist for a couple years now. She always very attentive and supportive. Always open my mind of how to see things differently, in so many kind of ways. I truly trust her that she will do her best to help me get better with my mental situation. Thank you Linda.”

“I have benefited a lot from my sessions with Linda Crawford. I am most grateful for her expertise and coaching.”

“She’s wonderful and listens so well”

“Linda has been fantastic. It meant so much to me that she truly understood the situation after I explained, with context, what had transpired over the last year. Since then, everything feels normal again, and I no longer feel like I have to repeatedly explain this to numerous therapists who lack knowledge or expertise in the field of narcissistic relationships and mental abuse. After a solid year of trying to find someone who understood, I finally found that person in Linda.”

“Linda is excellent, has a lot of resources and methods, and genuinely cares. Thanks Linda!”

“I have tried therapy throughout the years. Trying to find someone local or someone who takes my insurance. I never connected with anyone. Linda is AMAZING!! Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, personable, great two-way conversation. She listens so intently. She lets me talk and responds in a non-judgmental way with valuable insight in return. She doesn't respond with another question. I am so comfortable speaking with her.”

“She is amazing”

“My husband and I have been pleased with Linda’s counseling and guidance. She helps us to identify our issues and then offers many suggestions for ways to resolve them. She has been extremely helpful!”

“She is very attentive to my needs and helping me find helpful solutions to whatever issues I’m currently facing”

“Linda listens and offers constructive recommendations. Both my husband and I relate to her well and feel she respects both of our positions.”

“Linda has been incredible. I have enjoyed my time with her and she’s really helped me keep things in order. She’s caring, kind and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommend her to anyone going through a tough time.”

“As a caring professional, Linda brings value to us as a couple to address life challenges and grow our relationship.”

“Linda is great at listening and elaborating at what the primary and secondary concerns are and in helping find and integrate solutions to resolve and confront issues head on”

“Super friendly<br /> Super helpful<br /> Super knowledgeable<br /> Super awesome”
